great book - this man is dedicated to saving the environment

Eco-Warriors was written by Rik Scarce, a journalist who lives in Washington. This book attempts (and succeeds) to help readers understand why such grups as Earth First! and such "radical" environmental groups take the actions that they do. Scarce presents as much as an objective view as possible, he stresses his sympathy for the "front-line warriors" in the battle to save the earth. Well-told stories of activists doing the only effective thing to save the environment - get to the root of the problem and stop the individuals/governments/companies that are polluting the environment or needlessly killing endangered animals for profit or lack of responsibility. The people he describes are bypassing the ineffective routes of petitioning and organizing local recycling groups, and making major impacts on international policy.
